But What Has Talia Been Up To? ːFlarbː
Talia released Clown Meat this year! Talia took a break from Clown Meat development due to burnout to work on a much smaller project which eventually snowballed into a year long ordeal.
But that ordeal is very close to its end and Crawling Angels will release very soon in Q1 2026.
Clown Meat development will resume the moment Crawling Angels is released.
Crawling Angels has a little more to do with Brutal Orchestra than meets the eye...

But What Has Nico Been Up To? ːMobyDongː
Nico has been going to school in Japan to study Japanese.
And on the topic of languages Nico has a message for you all:
Hey Everyone, hope everything is going well! This is just a minor update that fixes various bugs that affected translations that used glyphs not supported by the game’s font.

And with this update, Russian and Japanese have joined the workshop of awesome translations made by some amazing people. But I want to remind you that French, Brazilian Portuguese and Italian are also available in the workshop.
The game officially supports English and Spanish already so if you want to play in another language be sure to check the workshop:
